Nick Jones

Best-selling children’s author
& joke writer

Born in Bristol but now living in Congleton, Cheshire, Nick Jones is a writer, editor, proofreader and publisher. His debut picture book, Sarah’s Shadow, was released in December 2017 and won a string of awards in 2018, most notably Best Picture Book on the US book review website Readers’ Favorite. 

In December 2020, his second picture book One Night in Beartown was published and has received critical acclaim from book bloggers such as Linda Hill, who said: “One Night In Beartown is a glorious book that deserves to be snapped up by a production company and turned into a Christmas tradition along with those well known animations of books by Raymond Briggs or Julia Donaldson.”

Nick has also written four joke books. He lives in Congleton (Beartown!) with his two kids and his dog. For the latest news on Nick Jones check out his website: nickjonesauthor.co.uk.

 

Nick Jones

Best-selling children’s author
& joke writer

Nick’s first book, Gagged and Bound – A Book of Puns, One-liners and Dad Jokes, was written during the summer of 2014 and was published by Full Media Ltd to much critical acclaim. It gained positive reviews from sites including Reader’s Favorite and The Bookbag, and went on to become an Amazon best-seller in the UK under Puns and Wordplay. He then published two sequels within the next two years.

In December 2017, Nick returned with something totally different: a children’s picture book about a little girl who loses her shadow. Illustrated by Nick’s friend, the super-talented Si Clark, Sarah’s Shadow is proving very popular with kids and parents alike.

Nick lives in Congleton, UK, with his wife, two kids and three cats. For the latest news on Nick Jones check out his website: nickjonesauthor.co.uk.

… a book written for children by someone who obviously understands them completely and who is a cracking story-teller into the bargain. I can’t recommend Sarah’s Shadow highly enough. Brilliant stuff.
